Reasons
Some of the primary reasons for Database Server Manager failing 
to run are described below-
• The company file you are trying to host with multi-user access is 
in an unsupported format after getting damaged.
• Windows Firewall settings restrict DBSM from running its 
background processes or accessing the drive folders.
• The Network Descriptor file in the QB folder has been damaged, 
or the DBSM program files are damaged.
Solutions
You can eradicate the problem by applying the techniques given underneath-
Solution 1- Re-install QuickBooks Database 
Server Manager on your computer
QuickBooks Database Server Manager might struggle to run if its 
program files get damaged, or the Windows firewall restricts the 
application. Several other minor glitches might infect the program 
and stop it from running smoothly. A way to counter the problem is 
by removing QB DBSM from your PC and installing it again.
1. Press the Windows key + R window on your keyboard 
simultaneously.
2. Type appwiz.cpl in the Run window and click Ok.
3. Go to the Program and Features window, and select QuickBooks 
database server manager.
4. Click on Uninstall and follow the directions given on the screen.
Go to the folder that contains the installation files and follow these 
steps-
5. Right-click on the folder and select Rename.
6. Add .OLD as an extension to the file name.
After the folder is renamed, follow this procedure to install DBSM 
again on your PC-
1. Close your QuickBooks.
2. Open Setup_QuickBooks.exe, and start the installation 
procedure.
3. You’ll have to fill in your product and license number.
4. Select Custom when asked for the installation type and click 
Next.
5. Now, choose,” I'll be using QuickBooks Desktop on this 
computer, and I'll be storing...”  if you want both QuickBooks 
desktop and database server manager to be installed on your 
host computer.
                                                                          Or
          Choose “I will not be using QuickBooks…” if you only want 
the Database server manager installed.
     6.  Finally, Click Install.
After completing the process, try to run your QuickBooks; if the 
error still exists, move to the next solution.
Solution 2- Run the File Doctor tool from 
the QuickBooks Tools hub
Download the latest version (1.6.0.3) of the QuickBooks Tools hub 
and follow the steps below-
1. Open the QuickBooks Tools hub.
2. Click on Company file issues.
3. Locate your company file from Browse or select it from the list.
You can use QuickBooks without any issues after the process 
finishes.
